Described from one male and two females from Tzaneen, 
Transvaal, 10.xu1.1918. The second paratypic female is 
almost as dark-coloured above as the male, but without a 
distinct lateral fascia on the head, pronotum, and pleurze ; 
the lateral lobes of the pronotum are uniformly buff- 
coloured ; the elytra are also uniformly coloured, without 
scapular stripe, the scapular area being callous but uni- 
colorous with the rest of the elytra. The coloration in this 
species seems to be rather inconstant, but it is very well 
defined by its morphological characters, and very easily 
separated from the only known species of the genus, 
Paraparga strigosa, Bol., by its shortened elytra. 
LXILL.—An interesting new Grasshopper from Mount 
Everest. By B. P. Uvarov, F.E.S. 
THouGH the Mount Everest Expedition of 1921 brought 
home only two specimens of grasshoppers, one of them proved 
to be extremely interesting and representing a new genus, 
which is described below. Another specimen is a Bryodema 
sp. which cannot at present be named specifically, as it is a 
female, while the species nearest to it—Bryodema holdereri, 
Krauss,—described from Kuku-Nor in Mongolia, is known 
in the male sex only. 
HYPERNEPHIA, gen. nov. 
?. Superficially not unlike the genus Conophyma, but 
differing in many characters. 
Antenne 17-jointed, distinctly longer than the head and 
pronotum taken together, in the apical half compressed and 
very slightly dilated. Head thick. Frontal ridge in profile 
feebly reclinate, convex near the clypeus and practically 
straight in the rest ; seen from the front it is broad, flat, with 
the margins obtuse, not at all raised, subparallel, suddenly 
and completely convergent at the fastigium, obliterate near
